[2025/05/18 14:30] Mecha: All right, so before we begin a couple things
[2025/05/18 14:32] Mecha: First off, I am breaking from Original D&D rules. Adjustments are to be made to alignment Chaotic , neutral and lawful now go with good neutral and evil
[2025/05/18 14:32] Sapphire: mrrrr?
[2025/05/18 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's technically what they meant.
[2025/05/18 14:34] Mecha: Second, i remember seeing this last week so i am addressing it now. Evil characters are allowed however there will be repercussions for any actions taken
[2025/05/18 14:34] Mecha: Be they good, evil, or neutral
[2025/05/18 14:34] Jassie: ohhhh
[2025/05/18 14:35] Sapphire: /me raises hands
[2025/05/18 14:35] Mecha: Yes?
[2025/05/18 14:35] Sapphire: Do our characters know which actions are flagging as evil / good ?
[2025/05/18 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: hopefully... otherwise that's very worrying...
[2025/05/18 14:36] Mecha: That is up to your characters conscience
[2025/05/18 14:36] Jassie: yea usually thats the case
[2025/05/18 14:36] Sapphire: Followup then
[2025/05/18 14:37] Mecha: Sorry, this press conference is over
[2025/05/18 14:37] Mecha: Kidding, go for it
[2025/05/18 14:37] Sapphire: at what point does our characters player get alignment confirmation of their actions?
[2025/05/18 14:37] Mecha: In the immortal words of Shakespeare... Huh?
[2025/05/18 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: you should know.... it's your character....
[2025/05/18 14:39] Sapphire: Well
[2025/05/18 14:39] Jassie: lolol
[2025/05/18 14:39] Mecha: explain please
[2025/05/18 14:39] Sapphire: What our character thinks if "good" and what the GM thinks is "good" may or may not match
[2025/05/18 14:39] Mecha: seems more like a chaotic good
[2025/05/18 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: good and evil is subjective, anyway.
[2025/05/18 14:40] Jassie: thats what the evil char would say
[2025/05/18 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: no... it's merely the way things are
[2025/05/18 14:40] Mecha: I give the Magneto argument. People view his actions as evil but he sees he is doing it for the greater good
[2025/05/18 14:40] Jassie: hehe, to cover her tracks
[2025/05/18 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Eg., is God always good?
[2025/05/18 14:41] Mecha: okay, okay
[2025/05/18 14:41] Mecha: Evil and good are subjective as is neutral. Give me a reason you did something that does not match your alignment and we can go from there.
[2025/05/18 14:44] Sapphire: hmmmm
[2025/05/18 14:44] Sapphire: Like, I do envision Ana'te'nilin as very chaotic, in a flighty, curious way
[2025/05/18 14:46] Jassie: hehe sure
[2025/05/18 14:47] Mecha: All right so any questions from you?
[2025/05/18 14:47] Jassie: nopee
[2025/05/18 14:48] Sapphire: Does my evaluation agree with yours, mecha?
[2025/05/18 14:49] Mecha: /me nods
[2025/05/18 14:49] Mecha: Basically karmic backlash to actions do and will exist
[2025/05/18 14:52] Mecha: As for disparages between what someone thinks is good and what the DM thinks is good. well things are going to happen in response to actions
[2025/05/18 14:52] Jassie: that makes sense for suree
[2025/05/18 14:53] Mecha: both for good, bad or even neutral
[2025/05/18 14:56] Mecha: Any other topics you would like to discuss or cover
[2025/05/18 14:56] Jassie: i'm good!
[2025/05/18 14:57] Mecha: Mistress? Madam?
[2025/05/18 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm neutral
[2025/05/18 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: O, I'm fine.
[2025/05/18 14:59] Jassie: she's planning her "neutral" style hehe
[2025/05/18 15:01] Mecha: All right, so we have maybe an hour if you all wish to game
[2025/05/18 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: \o/
[2025/05/18 15:02] Jassie: yess
[2025/05/18 15:03] Sapphire: Sure!
[2025/05/18 15:03] Sapphire: sorry to show up late
[2025/05/18 15:04] Mecha: All right so when we last left our heroes a couple members made a new friend, kind of. While Kaelin and Bloom went to investigate further
[2025/05/18 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: you were earlier than Jassie :P
[2025/05/18 15:04] Mecha: Nothing to be sorry about
[2025/05/18 15:05] Jassie: hey... i tried
[2025/05/18 15:05] Mecha: Nothing to be sorry about either of you
[2025/05/18 15:05] Mecha: Now then
[2025/05/18 15:05] Sapphire: we're still in that temple, right?
[2025/05/18 15:05] Mecha: What's everyone doing?
[2025/05/18 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Investigating the hallway?
[2025/05/18 15:08] Mecha: Okay as you had been at the entrance to another room past the mimic. Do you wish to enter?
[2025/05/18 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Will I be too far from the rest if I do?
[2025/05/18 15:09] Mecha: You're about ten feet from them now so if you go in you'r within travel distance but that is only for now
[2025/05/18 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll take a cautious look in, while staying in line of sight of the party
[2025/05/18 15:10] Jassie: so the mimic is following us at this point? or she still just gonna stay there?
[2025/05/18 15:11] Mecha: It is dark-ish with only a couple of torches lit. Roll perception
[2025/05/18 15:11] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[2025/05/18 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: ffs. Fail.
[2025/05/18 15:11] Mecha: She is still sitting there still wanting to find her erstwhile comrade and beat the snot out of them
[2025/05/18 15:12] Mecha: You see some shapes in the room but nothing you can really make out, but you are sure they are not moving
[2025/05/18 15:12] Sapphire: "So, what do you all know about mimics? Could they be good pets? Or mounts maybe?"
[2025/05/18 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "They are evil! That is all I need to know!"
[2025/05/18 15:13] Jassie: they could be a friend too?
[2025/05/18 15:14] Jassie: "I mean she was just trying to survive as most people do." looks at the mimic lady giving a thumbs up
[2025/05/18 15:14] Mecha: The mimic nods."Look this is fun but I am gonna go now. No harm no fowl" Before turning into a chicken and trying to run away
[2025/05/18 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Most people don't lie in wait to bite your head off."
[2025/05/18 15:17] Sapphire: "Hmmmmmm...... I knew a few people like that at the last port town I was at though. usually hung around in the colorful parts of town...."
[2025/05/18 15:17] Jassie: "you dont wanna come with us?" asks the mimic
[2025/05/18 15:18] Mecha: The chicken shakes her head."Sorry, I'm a meat eater and you all seem nuts."
[2025/05/18 15:18] Sapphire: "Awwww...."
[2025/05/18 15:20] Mecha: And with that she runs off
[2025/05/18 15:20] Jassie: well.. thats really unfortunate
[2025/05/18 15:21] Jassie: shrugs "oh well"
[2025/05/18 15:22] Jassie: continues to follow behind Kaelin, "coming Ana?"
[2025/05/18 15:22] Sapphire: "Sure!" She skips a bit to catch up
[2025/05/18 15:24] Mecha: All right as you reach Kaelin roll perception
[2025/05/18 15:24] D20: Jassie rolls 14
[2025/05/18 15:27] D20: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/05/18 15:27] D20: Mecha rolls 15
[2025/05/18 15:29] Mecha: okay, Ana can see a bit better in the room. You see the room is a long as a banquet hall. Along the wall is a couple treasure chests, further in the room is a table with something on it.. You're not sure but you smell food, fresh cooked and mouth watering
[2025/05/18 15:30] Jassie: can we all not smell the food?
[2025/05/18 15:30] Jassie: or only Ana?
[2025/05/18 15:30] Mecha: Only Ana at the moment
[2025/05/18 15:31] Jassie: ok
[2025/05/18 15:33] Mecha: Mistress and Jassie, roll perception again
[2025/05/18 15:33] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2025/05/18 15:33] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 14
[2025/05/18 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: \o/
[2025/05/18 15:33] D20: Jassie rolls 4
[2025/05/18 15:33] Sapphire: "How do they keep that smelling so good all the way down here? It's neat!"
[2025/05/18 15:33] Sapphire: She'll walk over to the food, picking up some of the cutlery if there is any
[2025/05/18 15:33] Jassie: "what smells so good?" looks confused
[2025/05/18 15:34] Jassie: as Ana walks over to do that, do I see the food?
[2025/05/18 15:34] Mecha: Jassie smells it. Bloom nudges Kaelin."Boss something smells good." She says as she climbs down and runs towards the table."
[2025/05/18 15:34] Mecha: If you head over there yes, yes you do
[2025/05/18 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: grabs at Bloom. "Oi! Back here!"
[2025/05/18 15:35] Mecha: This is a rather large table with a full feast. Roasted meats, fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes etc.
[2025/05/18 15:35] Mecha: Bloom stops at the command and returns
[2025/05/18 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Banquets do not sit freshly cooked in dark dungeons."
[2025/05/18 15:37] Sapphire: "yeah, something is keeping it hot!" She looks around to see what that might be. How's the cutlery she picked up feel?
[2025/05/18 15:37] Mecha: At the end of the table stands a statue of a wise but angry looking old man. The kind they talk about using the words dark wizard.
[2025/05/18 15:37] Mecha: They feel like basic metal cutlery
[2025/05/18 15:37] Jassie: poke the statue in the face
[2025/05/18 15:38] Sapphire: What expression looks both angry and wise?
[2025/05/18 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Any math teachers'.
[2025/05/18 15:38] Mecha: You can tell he is wise and smart but there is an evil in the look on his face
[2025/05/18 15:39] Jassie: any reaction when i poke the face
[2025/05/18 15:39] Mecha: you poke the statue in the face... Your finger touches stone. it does not move
[2025/05/18 15:41] Jassie: "I don't like his look guys. I'm gonna push em over see what happens if he hits the floor."
[2025/05/18 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Maybe leave it be?"
[2025/05/18 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "You wouldn't be too happy if guests came to your house and started pushing your stuff about, would you?"
[2025/05/18 15:42] Sapphire: Ana snags a baked potato and tries a bite while walking over to check the statue out.
[2025/05/18 15:43] Mecha: It tastes like a baked potato, since you didn't put anything on it it just tastes like a potato
[2025/05/18 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me shakes her head and starts gesturing and muttering a mystic chant under her breath. "Rwy'n bwrw iachâd clwyfau ysgafn arnaf fy hun."
[2025/05/18 15:44] Sapphire: Just like they made them back at the hive! "Bless you, Sonja."
[2025/05/18 15:44] Jassie: hmmmm well, any alcohol on the table?
[2025/05/18 15:45] Mecha: A couple bottles of wine.
[2025/05/18 15:45] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/05/18 15:46] Mecha: Now this does strike you as odd as there is a freshly prepared meal in a dungeon with a statue at teh head of the table.
[2025/05/18 15:47] Jassie: well gonna take a swig of the wine, see how it tastes, not drinkling it yet, just tasting
[2025/05/18 15:47] Mecha: IT tastes like wine a rather good wine. Not the greatest but a bit over average
[2025/05/18 15:48] Jassie: "ahhh what the heck," downs the whole glass
[2025/05/18 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: Leans against a wall and sighs.
[2025/05/18 15:50] Jassie: hey, if something happens, it happens
[2025/05/18 15:50] Jassie: and i'm hungry and thirsty ok
[2025/05/18 15:51] Mecha: All right the wine goes down smooth. soon the potato and the wine is gone. What will you three do?
[2025/05/18 15:51] Jassie: eat more of the food! woohoo
[2025/05/18 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Waiting as I lean on the wall, arms crossed.
[2025/05/18 15:51] Jassie: i'm njot one to waste food
[2025/05/18 15:52] Jassie: mama told me never to waste food and drinks
[2025/05/18 15:52] Sapphire: Ana will look around the walls and walk the room to see what else is here.
[2025/05/18 15:52] Jassie: I say that to Kaelin
[2025/05/18 15:53] Jassie: "waste not want not, I always say."
[2025/05/18 15:55] Mecha: There were the treasure chest along the wall away from the table
[2025/05/18 15:56] Mecha: Jassie you eat and soon reach your fill
[2025/05/18 15:57] Jassie: mmmm, cleans her beard, now that was good
[2025/05/18 15:58] Sapphire: She toes a chest with her boot curiously
[2025/05/18 15:58] Mecha: It's just a chest
[2025/05/18 15:59] Jassie: goes to join Ana
[2025/05/18 15:59] Jassie: burp
[2025/05/18 16:00] Mecha: All three chests are solid wood. nothing fancy
[2025/05/18 16:01] Mecha: however there is a lock on each one
[2025/05/18 16:01] Jassie: whats the lock made of?
[2025/05/18 16:02] Mecha: Looks like steel
[2025/05/18 16:03] Jassie: would a weapon be able to smash through it? maybe a warhammer? ~looks at Ana~
[2025/05/18 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Maybe something denser, a skull, maybe?"
[2025/05/18 16:04] Sapphire: "We can try picking it first," she checks her pockets for something suitable
[2025/05/18 16:04] Sapphire: (Halflings do or don't get pick lock?)
[2025/05/18 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Only if you're a thief
[2025/05/18 16:05] Mecha: Jassie you don't know if you can break it with a hammer
[2025/05/18 16:06] Jassie: "sure." proceeds to walk over to Kaelin and makes a grabbing motion for her head with a grin.
[2025/05/18 16:06] Jassie: chuckles as she's doing that
[2025/05/18 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me arches an eyebrow, looking both wise and angry. One can fuck about, and one can then find out.
[2025/05/18 16:07] Jassie: oh you're no fun
[2025/05/18 16:07] Mecha: /me facepalms
[2025/05/18 16:09] Sapphire: I -think- Ana has that?
[2025/05/18 16:10] Jassie: yes yes, try locking if u can Ana
[2025/05/18 16:10] Sapphire: I thought Halfling was (in basic at least) kinda thief / fighter hybrid
[2025/05/18 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: If you're a halfling and this is the D&D rules: then no.
[2025/05/18 16:10] Sapphire: D% ?
[2025/05/18 16:10] Sapphire: Hmmmmmm
[2025/05/18 16:10] Sapphire: stealth but not breaching?
[2025/05/18 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, you're basically a small fighter
[2025/05/18 16:11] Mecha: i mean you can still try
[2025/05/18 16:12] D10: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/05/18 16:12] D10: Sapphire rolls 8
[2025/05/18 16:12] Jassie: "give it a go Ana."pats her on the back encouragingly.
[2025/05/18 16:13] Sapphire: She pokes and prods at the lock. "Been a while... Sana'tha'lin was always better at this."
[2025/05/18 16:14] Mecha: Jassie roll a D20
[2025/05/18 16:14] D20: Jassie rolls 12
[2025/05/18 16:15] Mecha: Sapphire roll d20
[2025/05/18 16:16] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2025/05/18 16:17] Mecha: You take a piece of metal and are working the lock, but Jassies back pat throws you off and the lock stays locked.
[2025/05/18 16:18] Jassie: LOL
[2025/05/18 16:20] Mecha: As you look at it a ghost comes through the wall and looks at you as it unfurls a scroll that says...
[2025/05/18 16:20] Mecha: CLIFFHANGER!
[2025/05/18 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2025/05/18 16:20] Sapphire: A ghost!
[2025/05/18 16:20] Jassie: ahhh!
[2025/05/18 16:20] Jassie: that was Sonja level of evil there with the back pat
[2025/05/18 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: O_O
[2025/05/18 16:21] Jassie: hahaha
[2025/05/18 16:21] Jassie: mecha's evil DM style
[2025/05/18 16:21] Jassie: come on, its totally what u would do sonja hehe
[2025/05/18 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, I'd do much worse and have you push her into a trap
[2025/05/18 16:22] Jassie: lol fair enough
[2025/05/18 16:22] Jassie: u evil sod
[2025/05/18 16:22] Second Life: Mecha gave you D&D club 18/05/2025.
[2025/05/18 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm :P
[2025/05/18 16:23] Mecha: Now a little notice. This one put it in Discord but will say it here. There will be no game next Sunday. This one has a RL event to do and wont be back on time. She might be around but not til later than usual
